Advantage for Bharti, Vodafone in 3G bids
Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Essar are at the most advantageous position for the upcoming 3G spectrum auction in the most lucrative and competitive circles of Delhi and Mumbai.
As per the schedule announced by the department of telecommunications (DoT) on Friday, 3G auctions would be held on January 15.
The Delhi and Mumbai circles have emerged as the most competitive as these two metro circles would be able to notch up the maximum subscribers in the 3G services fold, which enables faster download of data and video streaming on mobile phones.
The two circles have also emerged as the toughest because of the paucity of 3G spectrum in the 2.1 Ghz band here. For instance, Delhi has only three blocks of 5 mhz spectrum, of which one is reserved and already allocated to the state-owned Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL).
